Found a quite unlikely and ULTRA cheap source for silicon grease for the threads/o rings
Danco waterproof grease Item #: 26276 | Model #: 80360 at lowes Isle 30, bay 15 for $3.49…hah
Was at Lowes looking for AC duct tape and downloaded the app, searched silicon grease and viola (it was in the sink section)
I just HEAVILY lubed up no less than 10 flashlights and you can barely see any out of the little tub, lifetime supply and DON’T have to wait for China

Ha. Exactly the stuff I found in the back of my tool drawer and used until I got some Superlube from Amazon.

most people don’t like stating how much they weigh on a public message forum :bigsmile:
The tub is about 1.5” in diameter and 1/2” to 3/4” deep says .5oz
Oh you are referring to the weight of the grease as in like the viscocity index on motoroil…no clue
And yeah you are right…the wrong link

have to admit you mad me laugh here, and it usually takes a bit to do that! If you have a sense of humor like mine then these should make u snicker:

It is true, Bort is quite mad.

I have a large tube of Servisol silicone grease but I prefer the viscosity of Jetbeam grease. Servisol feels slightly sticky in comparison.

koyotee:
Year 2006?
With a lifetimes supply Im guessing year wont matter?
Does this stuff go ‘off’ as in separate or similar so to speak?

yeh, netweight was what i was referring to not viscocity...I like to know the ratio of poundage to cost of what I'm getting.

I don’t know, if it looses any of its properties over time.

Bort was unaware, how have you come to this conclusion?

My Maserati is in the shop. (Again!) I've asked the seller if they have Yugo nyogel, but haven't heard back yet.

I use a tube of stuff called Aladin’s Magic Lube. 5oz can be had for a couple bucks on amazon. There’s two variants…one’s only silicon, the other is silicon and PTFE (teflon). I use the combo one because the texture is a little bit easier to work with.
I use this stuff just because I use it for work…I probably have 4 tubes at any given time in the back of my truck.
Oh, and you wanna talk about lifetime supply? I can buy this stuff in 1 or even 5 gallon buckets. BAM.
